I QUIT READING FOREVER

AS OF TODAY I WILL NO LONGER BE WORKING WITH BOOKS, BUYING BOOKS, READING BOOKS, OR ANYTHING ELSE HAVING TO DO WITH BOOKS. BOOKS ARE DEAD TO ME. BOOK IS A CURSE WORD. I’M QUITTING MY JOB, MOVING TO THE PRAIRIE AND LIVING IN A SMALL DWELLING. NO ONE CAN STOP ME.

I’M SO ANNOYED AT ALL THE AUTHORS OUT THERE WHO THINK THEY CAN JUST WRITE WHATEVER THEY WANT AND EXPECT PEOPLE TO WANT TO READ IT. IT’S SO FRUSTRATING WHEN I CAN’T GET THROUGH A BOOK BECAUSE THE AUTHOR IS MAKING ME CRY OR THE CHARACTERS ARE DUMB AND MAKE DUMB CHOICES. WHAT’S THE POINT ANYMORE?? ALL THE BOOKS ARE THE SAME.

AND PUBLISHERS THINK THEY CAN JUST SELL WHATEVER THEY WANT. WHAT ABOUT WHAT I WANT, HUH?? I DON’T WANT BOOKS ABOUT PIRATES, OR MAGIC, OR ROMANCE, OR SOCIETAL PROBLEMS, OR CELEBRITIES, ALL THOSE THINGS ARE WORTHLESS AND POINTLESS WITH THE INEVITABILITY OF DEATH AROUND THE CORNER. WHY BOTHER WITH READING WHEN THERE IS TV AND NETFLIX AND SPOTIFY? BOOKS ARE TORTURE. AND BOOK PEOPLE ARE THE WORST, TOO. THEY ALWAYS ARE PUSHING BOOKS AND EXPECTING ME TO READ THEM. I GOT ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT WITHOUT BOOK PEDDLERS IN MY LIFE ALL THE TIME.

SO MUCH PAPER I CAN USE TO WIPE MY BUM INSTEAD OF READING. DESTROY BOOKS.
